NOTE: This guide can be downloaded as a PDF document to read at your leisure.

More and more people are considering cosmetic surgery abroad.  Some are attracted by the competitive prices offered in overseas destinations; others wish to combine their treatment with a relaxing period of recovery in a sunny climate.

But for the patient considering cosmetic surgery abroad, there are many concerns. What are the conditions like in clinics overseas? Is the surgeon suitably qualified? Where can I get the best deal? What questions should I ask about the treatment? What happens if I am unhappy with the outcome of the surgery?

This guide attempts to answer these questions and guides the patient through the process of exploring the options for cosmetic surgery abroad. It has been developed through the experience that we have gained through operating the Treatment Abroad web site and our knowledge of the medical tourism industry in general.
